- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Greece's drug squad is currently conducting a huge operation in Athens to arrest members of one of the largest drug dealing rings operating in Greece and in other European countries, mostly in Scandinavia.
The ring distributed drugs via Greece to other European countries. According to police, 15 members of the ring have already been arrested and 678 kilos of cannabis have been confiscated along with a speed boat and trucks used for the drug transport.
The head of the criminal gang, a businessman of the transport sector, allegedly a drug baron of the Balkans, has been arrested. Police said that the confiscated drugs were destined for Oslo where the price is very high.
The same police sources said that the members of the gang brought the drugs in Greece with speedboats from Albania to a Greek island and from there the drugs were channeled to a number of places in Greece where international transport trucks took them to European countries.
